and communities by the AAUW of Texas. Chancellor Stuart was
nominated for this award by the AAUW Denton branch.
“I
appreciate this honor and am grateful to the Denton branch
for nominating me,” Chancellor Stuart said. “TWU
is a leader in providing quality higher education to women,
and I am proud of how TWU and the AAUW work together to encourage
young girls to attend college. ”
